Also, has anyone ever used the Korea Post app on their smartphone in English?

**\[BEHIND THE NUMBERS\]**     Two months ago, Kim Yong-sik, 45, was urged to resign from his job as a graphic designer. It was his third such forced departure after years of working at a conglomerate and then two startups.   Now unemployed and getting by on part-time jobs, he has stopped giving his parents a monthly allowance, cut back on dining out and grocery spending and postponed travel plans.   “Your forties are the time when you can earn the highest income, but they’re also an age when it’s easy to feel anxious,” Kim said. “It feels like your growth within the company has reached a certain limit, and at times it seems as though all that’s left is a dow...

TLDR: it's not going to get any better. im hearing 1600, and 1800 by end of 2026 pay attention to this reality i am seeing on the ground: **mass emigration of rich people in korea** have accelerated since lee jae myung's announcement to nationalize pensions. i work in finance and the panic is barely being hidden anymore. i had a client last week, guy with a portfolio worth mid-8 figures, liquidate his entire domestic stock holding at a loss just to move the liquidity into a trust in singapore. I note that he has already moved his family and they have acquired foreign residency. they are panic selling. **massive price inflation everywhere in 2026** especially the real estate in ...

Social media sets trends, but language determines how far they spread. Conveying emotions and understanding what others feel—isn’t that the most meaningful trend? **Well, social media is no longer a platform shaped by a single language or culture; it’s an open sky where stars like translation truly twinkle.** **The trend of translation gives rise to new trends, helping people connect and allowing content to travel across borders.** Trends don’t simply drift onto platforms like a fleeting dream; they shape and transform the evolution of platforms themselves. **SOCIAL MEDIA SETS TRENDS, LANGUAGE SPREADS THEM** Trends emerge from social media platforms—Instagram, Snapch...

Hello! Just wanted to come here and say that I highly recommend Korea Disco for buying signed or rare albums. The item came to me in exactly seven days to Canada—using Korea Post—and they shipped out almost instantly from Seoul. No customs, fair pricing, and a very accessible website. Thank you, Korea Disco! 🤌

So I got my order delivered, or attempted to, from the JYP Fans Shop today, to the US btw, but my family member said the delivery driver needed a money order or a cashier check? I guess that would be for tariffs...? But I thought that fee was included in the shipping cost, which was already more than half the product price! Why was I not informed of this, this is ridiculous... I already paid almost 80$ in shipping, why are they asking for another 34$? But anyway, if I have to pay this fee can I just do it online? I'm trying, but my tracking number isn't working when I put it into the UPS website. This family member also suggested we have the package sent to the local UPS Store, a...

Hellooo I'm not very familiar with online purchasing so I thought I'd ask here for some opinions :'> I bought the 5 vers Plbbuu albums during preorder time the 4th of November in Vlast Shop, then when they shipped the 21th I was given a tracking number but ever since that time (like three weeks have passed) the website still says that my number doesn't exist. I'm aware that Vlast doesn't answer inquiries about when the items will arrive and (plus im located in Spain so i know they'll take some time to arrive), but i still contacted them about the tracking number specifically, without mentioning arrival time, in case the number was wrong but I think...

Any recommendations / experiences of using luggage delivery services to ship additional shopping from Seoul to Australia / US / UK. Is it worth it, what kind of pricing and service did you receive. Currently I am seeing pricing around \~100 USD for a 20kg bag from Seoul to Sydney and similar for express shipping on sites like sendmybag.com. Haven't checked DHL/Fedex or Korea post yet. Looking for experiences from travelers going back from Korea and how they managed it. Cheers

I have a Korean visa issued in 2019 and valid until 2029. I haven’t used it after 2021, but I’m planning a quick SoKor trip next year. I read that you are required to update your passport information upon renewal. I tried to, but it was rejected because apparently, passport updating only applies to visas issued after 2021. The notice said I just need to bring both passports - the current and old one with the sticker visa. Wanted to check if anyone has a pre-2021 visa who was able to enter Korea post-2021 without updating their passport information? I know the guidance is quite clear, and I have also emailed the Korean MFA. But as an overthinker, I know embassy directives might not alw...

I just curious because i know the laws in N.K. that internet is not allowed, so who is upvoting 900-1,000+ posts on r/NorthKoreaPics and the N.K. sub? Are foreigners really invested in the life of Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea?

I’m going to go through the **Wolfpack Research short report on SES AI** point by point and answer each section in a separate post. This is **Part 1 – the EV / auto OEM business.** Disclosure: I’m long $SES. This is **not** financial advice, just my own DD so others don’t have to read a 20-page short report in a panic. # 1. What Wolfpack claims On the EV/OEM side, Wolfpack basically says: * GM is gone. (We knew that already late 2024) * Honda and Hyundai are “dead or in their death throes” as partners. * Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) have collapsed → OEMs have lost interest. **Their conclusion:** SES’s EV/OEM business is “dying”. It sounds dramatic in a ...

Wanted to share this so people don’t go crazy like I did, but if you bought the wands and you’re wondering about when they will ship, you’ll get an EMS / Korea Post tracking link pretty soon, and unfortunately you won’t receive a domestic tracking link. UPS is handing the deliveries for these orders, and there will be a postage balance due of $45 dollars to complete the delivery. If you sign up for UPS My Choice ( which is literally just opening a free UPS profile account ), you’ll only have to pay $35. The delivery guy only takes checks ( which is extremely inconvenient ), so the better option is to pay it online. Make sure you write the address exactly as you wrote it in your ord...

Didn’t received any update since the parcel is handed over to air carrier Anyone has any similar experience with EMS and any suggestion :(

# TL;DR * Korea Post now requires **senders** to **pre-pay U.S. customs duty** for most Korea→USA packages. * Items **≤ $800**: duty + small fee paid by **sender** → **recipient pays nothing**. * **Gifts ≤ $100** are duty-free (only $1.04 fee). * Letters/documents are not affected. Korea Post now requires **pre-payment of U.S. customs duty by the sender** for most international mail going to the United States. This system (DDP, Delivered Duty Paid) is implemented through a CBP-approved customs payment provider and applies to packages being sent from Korea to the U.S. 🔗 Official Korea Post notice (Korean): [https://www.epost.go.kr/main.retrieveNoticeContent.comm?news\_se...
